“We should get that on TV. I would expect we’d be on TV anyway. That’s disappointing.”

Fox Sports Net, which has the contract with the Pac-10, is televising the Arizona-Washington game nationally and did not grant a waiver to also air the UCLA-Oregon State game, UCLA spokesman Marc Dellins said.

Oregon State would not move the game to 5:30 p.m., but Dellins said UCLA wouldn’t have done that either, since most fans wouldn’t have been able to get to the game on time.

Taking their act on the road: The Bruins (13-0) will play on the road for three consecutive games.

UCLA has won its four games on neutral courts but has yet to play in a hostile environment.

“I think we’ll be even better on the road,” wing Josh Shipp said. “We’ll have a lot more time with each other. There’s a lot more distractions at home, being the No. 1 team. There’s a lot to do in L.A.”

And not a lot to do in Corvallis, where UCLA plays Oregon State (8-6, 0-1) on Thursday.

Also: A friend of Lorenzo Mata has died. Mata practiced Tuesday but left afterward to be with friends. He will join the team as it leaves today for Oregon. & Shipp participated in his first full practice since spraining his ankle a week ago. & Washington State coach Tony Bennett, on squandering a 10-point lead at UCLA last week: “We pretty much had a funeral for it.” Bennett said the Cougars then focused their attention on USC. They won. & If UCLA and Oregon win their games Thursday, it will set up showdown Saturday between two of the country’s three remaining undefeated teams.
